Kule veki, isikhumbuzo se-100 seSibhengezo saseBalfour, esakhuthaza ukunika iPalestina kubantu bamaJuda, siya kubhiyozelwa eLondon. Ehlabathini lonke, kuya kubakho uqhankqalazo oluchasene nayo icela iBritani ukuba icele uxolo ngomonakalo ewubangeleyo. Abafundi abavela kwi-West Bank kunye neGaza baya kuthumela iileta kurhulumente waseBrithani echaza iimpembelelo ezimbi ukuba iSibhengezo saseBalfour, kunye neNakba kwi-1948, siqhubeka siphila ubomi babo namhlanje.
NjengoDan Freeman-Maloy ichaza, i-Declaration ye-Balfour nayo ibalulekile namhlanje ngenxa ye-propaganda ekhoyo kunye nayo eyayithethelela ubukhulu obumhlophe, ubuhlanga kunye nobukhosi. Ama-impiriyali aseBritani ayekholelwa ukuba idemokhrasi isebenza kuphela “kubantu abachubekileyo naboyisayo,” kwanokuba “ama-Afrika, ama-Asiya, abantu bomthonyama ehlabathini lonke - bonke babe … 'ziintlanga,' bengakulungelanga ukuzilawula. Ubuhlanga bunye babubhekiswa nakumaYuda. ULord Balfour wakhetha ukuba namaYuda ahlala ePalestina, kude neBritani, apho anokuba ngamaqabane aluncedo aseBritani.
Ngexesha elifanayo, uBill Moyers usikhumbuza kudliwanondlebe lwakhe nombhali uJames Whitman, imithetho yaseUnited States yayigqalwa “njengomzekelo wakhe wonk’ ubani ekuqaleni kwenkulungwane yama-20 owayenomdla wokudala ulungelelwano olusekelwe kubuhlanga okanye ilizwe. IMerika yayinkqenkqeza phambili kuzo zonke iinkalo ezahlukahlukeneyo kumthetho wocalucalulo kwinxalenye yokuqala yaloo nkulungwane.” Oku kuquka imithetho yokufudukela kwelinye ilizwe eyenzelwe ukugcina "abangathandekiyo" ngaphandle kwe-US, imithetho edala ubumi beklasi yesibini kubantu base-Afrika-baseMelika kunye nabanye abantu kunye nokuvalwa kwemitshato yobuhlanga. UWhitman unencwadi entsha echaza indlela uHitler asebenzisa ngayo imithetho yase-US njengesiseko sombuso wamaNazi.
Okungekho Sikweni Kusemthethweni
Urhulumente wase-US kunye nemithetho yakhe iyaqhubeka nokungabikho kokusesikweni namhlanje. Ngokomzekelo, iikontraka ezifake izicelo zemali karhulumente yokulungisa umonakalo owenziwe yiNkanyamba iHarvey eDickinson, eTexas. kufuneka ukubhengeza ukuba bangathathi nxaxheba kwi-Palestinian Boycott, Divestment, Sanction (BDS) intshukumo. Kwaye iRhuluneli yaseMaryland Hogan wasayina umyalelo olawulayo kule veki evala naziphi na iikontraka zikarhulumente ekubeni zithathe inxaxheba kwintshukumo ye-BDS, emva kokuba amatsha-ntliziyo asekuhlaleni ewoyisile umthetho ofanayo kule minyaka mithathu idlulileyo.
Ukuthatha inxaxheba kukwayikiswa kufuneka kukhuselwe phantsi koLungiso lokuQala, njengoko kufanele kube njalo ilungelo lokuqhankqalaza ucalucalulo lwamaSirayeli. Kodwa, elo lungelo lisenokuthatyathwa. Kule veki, uKenneth Marcus wenziwa umnyanzelisi ophambili wamalungelo oluntu kwiSebe lezeMfundo. Uqhuba iqela elibizwa ngokuba liZiko leBrandeis lamaLungelo oLuntu, elisebenza ngokwenene ukuhlasela abantu kunye namaqela aququzelela ngokuchasene nocalucalulo lwase-Israel kwiikhampasi. Nora Barrows-Friedman ubhala ukuba uMarcus, obefake izikhalazo ngamaqela abafundi axhasa iPalestine, ngoku uya kuba ngumphathi wokuphanda loo matyala.
UDima Khalidi, intloko yePalestine Legal, esebenza ukukhusela amatsha ntliziyo asePalestina, uchaza oko eUnited States, “ukuthetha ngamalungelo ePalestina, nokucel’ umngeni izenzo neengxelo zikaSirayeli, [kuvulela] abantu umngcipheko omkhulu, ukuhlaselwa nokungcungcuthekiswa—ubukhulu becala oku kusemthethweni, okanye okubangelwa ngumthetho.” Olu hlaselo lwenzeka ngenxa yokuba intshukumo ye-BDS inefuthe.
Le yinkalo nje enye ecacileyo yokungabikho kokusesikweni. Ewe kukho ezinye ezifana nemigaqo-nkqubo yokufudukela kwelinye ilizwe kunye ukuthintela ukuhamba. Kwaye kukho iinkqubo zobuhlanga e-United States ezingasekelwanga emthethweni, kodwa zigcinwe kwizenzo ezifana amapolisa anocalucalulo ngokobuhlanga, ukuqeshwa kwamakhoboka ngamabanjwa kunye nokubekwa kwe amashishini anetyhefu kwiindawo ezihlala abantu abambalwa. Iprojekthi yeMarshall iye ingxelo entsha kucalucalulo lobuhlanga kwiingxoxo zezikhalazo.
IiPropaganda zeMfazwe
Amajelo eendaba, njengoko ayesenza ekuqaleni kwenkulungwane yamashumi amabini, asaqhubeka egqwetha izimvo zoluntu ukuze axhase uhlaselo lwasemkhosini. I-NY Times kunye nobunye ubunzima, imithombo yeendaba edibeneyo ikhuthaze iimfazwe kwimbali yobukumkani base-US. Ukusuka 'kwizixhobo zokutshabalalisa' eIraq ukuya kwiGulf of Tonkin eVietnam kwaye yonke indlela ubuyela 'Khumbula iMaine' kwiMfazwe yaseSpain-American, eyaqala uBukhosi banamhlanje base-US, amajelo eendaba ahlala edlala umdlalo omkhulu. indima ekukhokeleni i-US emfazweni.
UAdam Johnson woBulungisa kunye nokuChaneka kwiNgxelo (FAIR) ubhala malunga Kutshanje iNew York Times Op Ed: “Amajelo eendaba anembali ende yeemfazwe ezikhalazayo anceda ngokwawo ekuthengiseni uluntu lwaseMelika, kodwa kunqabile iimfazwe ezininzi kwaye uhanahaniso olungaka ludityanisiwe lwaba luhlelo olunye.” UJohnson ubonisa ukuba iNew York Times ayinakuze ibuze ukuba iimfazwe zilungile okanye zingalunganga, nokuba zinenkxaso yeCongressional okanye cha. Kwaye ikhuthaza umbono othi "akukho zibhutsi emhlabeni" ukuba kulungile ukubhobhoza amanye amazwe ukuba nje imikhosi yase-US ingonakaliswa.
FAIR ikwabonisa isityholo sobuxoki samajelo eendaba sokuba i-Iran inenkqubo yezixhobo zenyukliya. Ngeli xesha kukho ukuthula malunga ne inkqubo yezixhobo zenyukliya eyimfihlo yakwaSirayeli. I-Iran iye yahambelana ne-Arhente ye-Atomic yamandla e-Atomic yamazwe ngamazwe, ngelixa u-Israel ekwalile ukuhlolwa. UEric Margolis iphakamisa umbuzo obalulekileyo malunga nokuba ngaba ulawulo lukaTrump lubeka iimfuno zikaSirayeli, ezichasa i-Iran, phambi komdla wase-US xa walayo ukungqina isivumelwano senyukliya ne-Iran.
INorth Korea lilizwe elisasazwa kakhulu kumajelo eendaba ase-US. U-Eva Bartlett, intatheli ekhe yahamba yaza yaxela kakhulu ngeSyria, isandula kundwendwela iNorth Korea. Ubonisa a umbono wabantu kunye neefoto loo nto ayizu kufumaneka kumajelo eendaba ezorhwebo, anika imbono entle ngelizwe.
Ngelishwa, iNorth Korea ithathwa njengeyona nto ibalulekileyo kwinzame zase-US ukuthintela China ukusuka ekubeni ligunya lehlabathi elilawulayo. Ramzy Baroud ubhala malunga ukubaluleka kwesisombululo sozakuzo kungquzulwano phakathi kwe-US neNorth Korea kuba kungenjalo kuya kuba yimfazwe ende negazi. UBaroud uthi i-US iya kukhawuleza iphelelwe yimijukujelwa kwaye emva koko isebenzise "iibhombu zomxhuzulane omdaka," ezibulala izigidi.
The unyulo kwakhona kutshanje Shinzo Abe kwandisa ungquzulwano kulo mmandla. U-Abe ufuna ukwakha umkhosi omncinci waseJapan kunye nokuguqula uMgaqo-siseko wepacifist wangoku ukuze iJapan ihlasele amanye amazwe. Ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo, i-Asian Pivot kunye neenkxalabo malunga nokungavisisani phakathi kwe-US kunye namanye amazwe zikhuthaza inkxaso ye-Abe kunye nomkhosi ongaphezulu eJapan.
I-Aggression yase-US e-Afrika
Ubukho bomkhosi wase-US eAfrika iye yabonakala kule veki ngokubhubha kwamajoni aseMelika eNiger. Nangona yayingeyontliziyo imbi, mhlawumbi singaba nombulelo kuba uTrump’s gaffe kunye nomhlolokazi osandula ukuba ngumhlolokazi uMyeshia Johnson noko ebenempembelelo yokwazisa uluntu malunga noku kunyuswa kwemishini eyimfihlo. Sinokubulela iivenkile ezifana Report Agenda Report ebezinika ingxelo rhoqo IAFRICOM, i-US Africa Command.
Yayimangalisa abantu abaninzi, kubandakanywa namalungu eCongress, ukuba i-US inemikhosi engama-6,000 ethe saa. 53 ngaphandle kwe54 amazwe aseAfrika. Ukubandakanyeka kwe-US e-Afrika kukho ukususela kwiMfazwe Yehlabathi II, ubukhulu becala kwi-oyile, igesi, izimbiwa, umhlaba kunye nabasebenzi. Nini UGaddafi, eLibya, wangenelela ngesakhono US 'ukulawula amazwe aseAfrika ngokubonelela ngemali yeoli kubo, ngaloo ndlela ekhulula imfuneko ukuba netyala US, kwaye wakhokela iinzame ukumanya amazwe Afrika, wabulawa kwaye Libya yatshatyalaliswa. I-China ikwadlala indima ekukhuphisaneni ne-US kutyalo-mali lwase-Afrika, ikwenza oko ngotyalo-mali lwezoqoqosho endaweni yokulwa. Yayingasenako ukulawula iAfrika ngokwezoqoqosho, i-US yajika yaya kumkhosi omkhulu.
IAFRICOM yayi yasungulwa phantsi koMongameli uGeorge W. Bush, owamisela umphathi omnyama ukuba akhokele i-AFRICOM, kodwa nguMongameli u-Obama ophumelele ekukhuliseni umkhosi wase-US. Phantsi kuka-Obama, inkqubo yedrone yakhula e-Afrika. Nazi ngaphezu kwe-60 iziseko zedrone ezisetyenziselwa ubufundisi kumazwe aseAfrika afana neSomalia. Isiseko sase-US e-Dijbouti sisetyenziselwa ukuqhushumbisa iimishini eYemen naseSyria. Iikontraka zomkhosi zase-US zikwafumana inzuzo enkulu e-Afrika.
Nick Turse Iingxelo ukuba umkhosi wase-US uqhube umndilili wemisebenzi elishumi e-Afrika yonke imihla. Uchaza indlela izixhobo zase-US kunye noqeqesho lwezempi oluye lwaphazamisa ngayo ukulingana kwamandla kumazwe ase-Afrika, okukhokelela kwiinzame zokukhwabanisa kunye nokunyuka kwamaqela amaphekula.
In lo dliwano ndlebe, u-Abayomi Azikiwe, umhleli we-Pan-African News Wire, uthetha ngembali ende kunye nenkohlakalo yase-US e-Afrika. Uqukumbela ngelithi:
"IWashington kufuneka ivale iziseko zayo, izikhululo zedrone, iindawo zeenqwelomoya, imisebenzi yomkhosi edibeneyo, iiprojekthi zokubonisana kunye neenkqubo zoqeqesho kunye nawo onke amazwe angamalungu e-African Union. Akukho nanye kwezi nzame eye yazisa uxolo nozinzo kweli lizwekazi. Okwenzekileyo kwahluke ngokupheleleyo. Ukusukela oko kwathi kwafika i-AFRICOM, imeko ibingazinzanga kulo mmandla. ”
Ukwakha iNtshukumo yoXolo lweHlabathi
Umatshini wokulwa onganelisekiyo uye wangena kuzo zonke iinkalo zobomi bethu. I-Militarism yinxalenye ebalulekileyo yenkcubeko yase-US. Yinxalenye enkulu yoqoqosho lwase-US. Ayinakuyekwa ngaphandle kokuba sisebenzisane ukuyinqanda. Kwaye, ngelixa thina e-US, njengombuso omkhulu kwimbali yehlabathi, sinoxanduva olukhulu lokulwa nemfazwe, siya kusebenza kakhulu ukuba sinokudibanisa nabantu kunye nemibutho kwamanye amazwe ukuva amabali abo, inkxaso. umsebenzi wabo kwaye bafunde ngemibono yabo yehlabathi elinoxolo.
Ngethamsanqa, zininzi iinzame zokuvuselela umbutho wokulwa imfazwe eUnited States, kwaye uninzi lwamaqela anobudlelwane bamazwe ngamazwe. I Umanyano lweSizwe oluManyeneyo lokuLwa iMfazwe, World Beyond War, i Ulwalamano oluMnyama woxolo kwaye i Umanyano oluchasene neziseko zomkhosi zamazwe angaphandle zase-US ngamaqela aqaliswe kule minyaka isixhenxe idlulileyo.
Kukwakho namathuba okuthatha amanyathelo. Amagqala oXolo aququzelela izenzo zoxolo ngoNovemba 11, Usuku lweArmistice. UCODEPINK usanda kuqalisa i Ukwahluka kwiPhulo loomatshini beMfazwe kujoliswe kwabahlanu abaphezulu bezixhobo e-US. Mamela kwimamela kum udliwanondlebe lwethu kunye nomququzeleli okhokelayo uHaley Pederson ekucimeni iFOG. Kwaye kuya kubakho a inkomfa yokuvala iziseko zomkhosi wamazwe angaphandle kulo Januwari eBaltimore.
Masiqonde ukuba kanye njengokuba iimfazwe zisiliwa ngenjongo yokulawula imimandla ngemithombo yazo ukuze iqaqobana lizuze, zikwamiliselwe kwiingcamango zokongamela kwabamhlophe kunye neengcamango zobuhlanga ezikholelwa ukuba ngabantu abathile kuphela abafanele ukulawula ikamva labo. Ngokudibanisa izandla nabazalwana noodade bethu emhlabeni wonke kunye nokusebenzela uxolo, sinokuzisa ihlabathi elineenxalenye ezininzi apho bonke abantu benoxolo, ukuzimela kunye nokuhlala ngesidima.
